How to avoid `beamer` to print its title page?

Question

It is the first time I am using beamer and I am trying to make a title page as I would do in a book class, but apparently beamer forces its own title page to be printed before mine. I have no \author or \title specified, so basically it just prints a blank page with \today.

I nested my title page within \begin{titlepage} and \end{titlepage} as I would do in any other document class. A MWE is the following:

\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{titlepage}
My title page
\end{titlepage}
\end{document}

How can I force beamer to print only my title page?

Answer 1

If you don't want beamers title page at all, don't use the titlepage environment. You can design your own titlepage in a separate frame:

\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
My title page
\end{frame}
\end{document}
